Narcotics agents found more than two dozen plants in a field behind a home in Bentonia. Police searched the field for hours after finding a huge cluster of marijuana plants.

"Fourteen were found in this building. Another 10 were found over here behind (the house), and another four were found in the house. It all adds up to between 26 marijuana plants," said Sgt. Jack Willinghan, of the Yazoo County Sheriff's Department.

The investigation began in August after a tip came in to authorities. City and county officials got a warrant Sunday to search Nolan's home. When they arrived, Nolan was not there, but investigators found various stashes on and near the property.

Two truckloads of marijuana were confiscated by the Bentonia Police Department.

Nolan's friend, Josephine Berry, said she was shocked.

"All my life I've known Curtis, and I grew up with Curtis. I never knew Curtis was involved with drugs, and this is a shock to me," Berry said.

"I believe we found everything we're going to find. We're going to continue to look, just in case there's any more," Willinghan said.

Investigators said what they have recovered so far would have had an estimated street value of more than $24,000.

Nolan turned himself in about 1 p.m. Monday.

Irvine said Nolan may face more charges as the investigation continues. At least one additional arrest is also possible, Irvine said.
